Diagnosis Denied: Diagnosis Denied Community Screening: What Veterans with IBM Want You to Know

Join us for a special community screening of Diagnosis Denied, a powerful investigative documentary series from 11Alive Investigates and NBC affiliates across the country, examining why U.S. veterans diagnosed with inclusion body myositis (IBM) are so often denied VA disability benefits. Through reporting from coast to coast, the series uncovers patterns in claim denials, gaps in disease recognition, and the real human cost borne by veterans fighting for the care and support they’ve earned.
This event is open to everyone — patients, caregivers, advocates, and community members — not just veterans or those living with IBM. After the screening, join us for a community conversation and Q&A with reporters Jennifer Titus and Ciara Bríd Frisbie, who will share insight into the reporting process and what they hope this series will change.
We are deeply grateful to the entire Diagnosis Denied news team for the heart, rigor, and dedication they brought to shining a light on this issue — including producers Ciara Bríd Frisbie and Elizabeth Hendren, and reporters Jennifer Titus, Rebecca Lindstrom, Chris Vanderveen, Heather Crawford, and Kyle Iboshi.
Come watch. Come learn. Come be part of the conversation.
